Corsair Memory on Thursday revealed memory modules that can be formally claimed to be the fastest in the industry. Thanks to hand-picked memory chips, advanced cooling and advanced cooling system, the Dominator GT GTX6 memory modules can achieve whopping 2.625GHz clock-speed. But the modules have little practical usage: they only have 1GB capacity and even Corsair itself does not seem to want to guarantee their reliable operation on all platforms.

The Corsair Dominator GT GTX6 1GB memory module is officially rated to work at 2625MHz with CL9 11-10-30 latency settings and 1.65V or 1.45V voltage. The modules have been tested on the Gigabyte P55A-UD5 motherboard with BIOS Revision F10 at a clock speed of 2625MHz with specially selected Intel Core i7-860 and Core i7-870 microprocessors in single-channel mode. According to the manufacturer “speeds as high as 2600MHz” can “typically” be achieved in dual-channel mode. Corsair stresses that the novelties have not been tested on AMD-based and Intel LGA1366 platforms.
